華嚴經探玄記 19.5

19.5

Fifth, under “All vajras,” admiring and deferring to superior advancement: this is admiring and deferring within the same category. First, revealing the superiority of clan and birth; second, the superiority of rewarded lifespan: although earlier a single lifetime reached ineffable kalpas, he had not attained immortality, hence he now defers; third, the superiority of the rewarded body, meaning inner wisdom is inexhaustible and outer form is indestructible; fourth, under “Universally observing,” explaining the superiority of karmic function; fifth, under “How could I,” concluding that it is not his own domain. The first Joyous Practice is completed.
